SCHEME 

To  Drive  the  French  out  of  All  the  Continent 
of  AMERICA 

Humbly  offered  to  ihe  Confideration  of ,  Efq; 


jHE  French  Settlements  upon  the  Continent  of  America, 
commonly  called  Canada  and  MifliHippe,  contain  large 
Tradls  of  Land,  which  the  French  pretend  to  have  a 
Right  to,  and  which  run  up  along  both  Sides  the  Ri- 
ver St.  Laurence  to  the  Lakes  called Champlain,  An- 
toiia,  Irie,  and  other;,  computed  to  be  about  900  Miles,  and  alfo 
along  both  Sides  all  rhofe  Lakes  to  the  River  St.  Gerome,  which 
takes  its  Source  from  the  South  Side  of  thefaid  Lakes,  and  empties 
itfelf  into  the  River  Mifiiflippe,  as  does  the  River  St.  Laurence 
irom  the  North  Eull  Side,  and  the  Space  between  is  alfo  com- 
puted to  be  about  1200  Miles,  and  down  the  River  Mifliflippe 
10  the  (julph  or  Bay  of  Mexico  is  computed  to  be  about  1000 
Miles  ifiore.  On  both  Sides  all  the  /aid  Lakes  and  Rivers  the 
1  rench  have  preat  Numbers  of  Settlements,  fome  of  which  are 
tort;fifd  With  Ballions.  others  only  palifadoed,  and  the  reft  open 
Villages,  But  this  vaft  Eictent  of  Coun»ry  produces  great  Wealth 
to  the  French  Nation  in  Timber.  Planks,  Maftf,  Yards,  Pitch, 
Tar,  Filh.  Furs,  Deer,  Elk,  Bufflo,  Beaver,  Wolf,  Wolverin, 
Seable.  Fox,  Martin,  Bear,  and  Wild- Cat  Skins  ;  befides  Lum- 
ber and  other  Commodities  to  their  Sugar- 1  (lands,  and  without 
>vb:ch  tlieir  faid  Iflands  would  have  the  grcatefl  Diiiiculty  to  fab- 
fill ;  and,  i^hich  is  flill  more  material,  the  Trade  to  thofe  Settle- 
ments is  the  greateft  Nurfery  they  have  for  Seamen  to  their 
Navy.  And  altho'  they  have  no  Right  to  any  Lands  on  the 
South  Sides  of  either  of  thofe  Lakes  and  Rivers  but  what  they 
moll  treachetoufly  ufurped  in  the  feveral  Times  of  Peace,  by

Climate  ;  which  makes  them  more  covetous  of  extending  their 
pretended  Limits  into  our  Colonies,  and  to  poflefs  themfeNes  of 
fome  or  all  our  Sea  ports,  the  Navigation  to  our  Colonies  being 
clear  and  open  all  the  Year  round,  and  their's  but  a  little  in  Sum- 
mer, and  that  very  difficult,  by  which  we  can  ferve  all  the  Indiana 
wiUi  the  Commodities  they  want,  near  Fifty  per  Cent  cheaper, 
and  more  efpecially  as  the  Produce  and  ManafaAures  of  our 
Country  are  what  all  ihofc  Indians  chiefly  require.  Therefore, 
the  French  have  been  ufing  all  the  perfidious  Arts  in  their  Power, 
ever  fince  their  firft  Settlement  in  that  Continent,  to  get  Poffeffion 
of  oor  Colonies,  as  may  be  feen  by  looking  back  into  the  Beha- 
»iour  of  Lewis  the  XlVth.  This  ambitious  and  pctfidious 
Prince,  finding  that  he  could  not  obtain  Univerfal  Monarchy  by 
all  the  Efforts  he  could  make  in  Europe,  conceived  that  the  only 
Way  left  to  attain  it  was  to  poflefs  himfelf  of  our  Colonies  upon 
the  Continent  of  America  ;  neither  would  he  have  been  miftaken,

the  Sugar  Iflands  ;  and  the  immenfe  Treafore  brought  from 
thence,  would  fooo  enable  him  to  conquer  all  Europe.  And, 
in  order  to  prepare  for  this  Grand  Scheme  by  a  Method  that 
flioold  be  the  leaft  fufpeftcd,  he  inftead  of  reducing  his  Troops 
upon  the  Peace  he  made  with  King  William,  fent  feveral

there  fell  a  (piriting  up  the  Indians,  in  Alliance  with  them,  t0 
make  Waragainft  cur  Indian  Allies,  always  mixing  Ortachmenca 
of  French  Troops  with  the  faid  Indians  io  every  .4:tack  they 
Dsde,  and  fometimcs  their  whole  Force,  and  the  faid  Governor 
at  their  hiead,  well  forefceing  that  it  was  oecefTary  to  vanqmfli 
our  Indian  AMies,  cr  to  bring  them  into  an  Alliance  with  (hem, 
before  (hey  attacked  our  Colonics,  becaufe,  when  once  they  got 
all  the  Indian  Nations  of  that  Country  on  their  Side,  they  could 
pour  in  fach  Numbers  of  them  upon  the  People  of  ourColoniea 
as  would  drive  them  into  the  Sea  in  Six  Month's  T.imc  :  But, 
as  our  faid  Indian  Allies  proved  to  be  a  much  braver  Peop'e 
than  the  Indians  in  Alliance  with  them,  altho'  not  a  Tenth  in 
Number,  and  their  Country  being  Io  defended  by  luch  Lakes 
and  Rivers  that  it  was  very  difficult  to  come  at  them,  great  Num- 
bers of  the  French  Troops  and  Indians  were  defiroyed.  In 
the  mean  time,  the  French  ufed  feveral  of  our  Indian  Allies, 
which  fell  into  their  Hands,  with  the  moft  inhuman  Tortures, 
in  hopes  to  terrify  the  reft  into  Submiffion  ;  fomeof  whom  they 
caufed  to  be  pinched  to  Death  with  Red  hot  Irons,  others  they 
ilead  alive  ;  then  they  dilperfed  a  Number  of  Priefts  among  them 
to  endeavour  to  feduce  them  :  But  thefe  brave  and  heroick  Peo- 
ple tvithflood  all  their  Tortures  and  Allurements.  However, 
the  French  continued  the  above  Prattices,  and  kept  fending  of 
Troops  there  Year  alter  Year  'till  the  Death  of  King  William. 
Then,  thinking  we  (hould  be  fo  taken  up  with  our  Affairs  at 
home  that  we  could  not  take  Cognizance  of  what  was  done  upon 
the  Continent  of  America,  the  French  fent  a  large  Fleet  there, 
with  a  great  Number  of  Troops,  the  Firft  Year  of  the  Reign 
of  Queen  Ann,  and  openly  attacked  and  took  Newfoundland, 
Nova- Scotia,  and  Hudfon's  Bay,  and  alfo  made  themfelves 
Mafters  of  the  lasnd  of  St.  Chriftopher's,  the  French  Miniflcrs 
pofitively  denying  then,  as  they  do  now,  that  they  knew  any 
Thing  of  thefe  Tranfaftions,  and,  in  order  to  gain  Time  to  ac- 
complilh  their  Matter's  Defigns,  ufed  all  their  Endeavours  to  pa- 
cify the  Queen  and  her  Minifters,  by  affuring  them  that,  if  any 
foch  Hoftilittes  had  been  committed,  it  ma&  i>«  owing  to  the 
reftlefs  Difpo/ition  of  the  Indians,  but,  if  it  fh  5  come  to  their 
Knowledge  that  any  of  their  Troops  were  conce  sed,  the  Places 
taken  ihould  be  reftored,  the  Officers,  who  bad  exceeded  their 
Orders,  punHhcd,  And  full  Reparation  made.

As  the  Frcrch  have  dcftroycd  mod  of  the  fa!d  Indian  War- 
riors in  the  feveral  Conflifts  they  have  had  with  them  during  (p 
many  Years,  more  elptcially  fince  the  Peace  of  Aix  le  Chapprlle, 
and  by  their  amufing  of  us  wiih  the  Pretence  of  fettling  of  Liniiis, 
they  find  a  fair  Opporiunity  to  fall  upon  us,  and  have  aflually 
(h  done  by  attacking;  our  Colonies,  taking  our  Forts,  (hackling 
our  People  who  guaidcd  them  with  Irons,  and  marching  them 
Prifoncrs  10  Canada  ;  murdered,  fcalped,  and  plundered  feveral 
of  our  poor  Planters  that  lived  in  that  Neighbourhood,  together 
with  their  Wives  and  Children  ;  and  have  now  built  Forts  upon 
our  Lands  on  or  about  the  River  Ohio,  and  openly  declare  they 
are  come  to  drive  our  People  out  of  all  that  Continent. 

Neither  is  this  a  new  or  partial  Scheme  of  the  French,  merely 
for  the  Sake  of  Trade  or  a  Settlement  on  thofe  Lands  ;  but  a 
Thing  long  concerted,  and  but  Part  of  the  Grand  Plan  for 
rendering  the  French  Mailers  of  all  North  America. 

For  this  Plan  was  laid  before  the  Court  of  Verfaillcs,  and  met 
with  iti  higheft  Approbation,  in  the  Year  1689,  and  has  en- 
gaged the  conftant  Attention  of  that  Court  eVer  fince,  as  may  be 
verified  from  their  own  Printed  Works.  'Tis  felt  too  in  their 
Aflions,  and  difguifed  no  where  but  in  their  moll  folemn  Trea- 
liea  and  the  fecret  Engagements  of  their  Faith.  Which  Plan 
may  be  feen  in  the  i2th  Book  of  Father  Charlevoix's  Hiftory 
of  that  Country.  ' 

The  firft  Step  to  be  taken  is,  "  to  fortify  and  garrifon  all  the 
Principal  Paffes  in  the  Country."  This  Part  is  but  now  efFedled, 
altbo  laid  down  ever  fince  the  8th  of  November,  in  the  Year 
1^2 1. 

There  Is  not,  fays  Father  Charlkvoix,  in  all  Louifiana, 
(meaning  Canada  and  Mifliflippe)  a  Spot  more  proper  for  a  Set- 
tlement than  this  on  the  River  Ohio,  nor  where  it  can  be  of 
greater  Importance  to  the  French  to  have  one.  The  whole 
country,  which  is  waflied  by  the  Rivers  Ohio  and  Ouback,  is  the 
jnoft  fertile  :  There  are  the  moft  excellent  Paflures,  finely  water- 
ed, where  the  Wild  Cattle  graze  by  Thoufands  ;  befidcs  the 
Communication  with  Canada  and  Mifliffippe.  and  this  much  eafier. 
better,  and  infinitely  fiiorter,  than  thro*  the  Lake  and  River 
lienors.     A  Fort  with  a  good   Garrifon  here  would  be  a  cohi-

to  build  Ships  for  the  attacking  of  the  Coaft  of  France  and  Spain,

and  the  old  Indian  Men,  Women,  and  Children,  would  be  in  no

Place  on  the  South  fide  of  Champlain  lake,  in  order  to  eretl  Ma- 
gazines there,  while  our  other  Troops  were  taking  the  faid  Forts,

ver that  runs  from  that  Lake  to  the  River  St.  Laurence,  together 
with  their  Artillery,  Ammunition,  Provifions,  &c.  Thefe  Boats 
might  be  conftantly  employed  to  carry  every  Thing  the  Troops 
wanted  from  the  Magazines  erefled  as  aforefaid  on  the  fouth  fide 
of  Champlain  lake  for  their  whole  future  Operations.  And  thefe 
Magazines  might  be  continually  replenilhed  from  New- York, 
by  Way  of  Albany,  there  being  the  greateft  Plenty  of  every  Thing 
to  be  had  in  the  Colony  of  New  York  exceeding  cheap,  as  alfo 
whatever  Number  of  Draught  Cattle  and  Horfes  (hould  be  wanted. 

()to, — "  The  feven  Ships  built  in  New  England  Ihould  be  or- 
dered to  fail  for  the  River  St.  Laurence  at  the  fame  Time  that

1690,  with  a  few  Ships  and  attacked  Qiiebcclc  the  fame  Year, 
and  would  have  taken  it,  if  the  Seafon  had  not  been  (o  far  fpent 
that  the  Froft  and  Ice  had  begun  to  fet  in,  and  that  he  had  loft 
a  great  Number  of  his  Men,  and  his  Ships  very  much  (haltered 
in  ihc  taking  of  the  aforefaid  Placet;  although  the  Larged  of 
his  Ships  was  but  300  Tons,  carrying  Guns  of  Twelve  pounders, 
and  he  had  no  Bomb  fliip.  Sir  Havinder  Walker's  Misfortune 
was  entirely  owing  to  his  Ships  being  too  large,  and  drawing  too 
much  Water  :  He  aifo  was  too  late  in  the  Year.  Therefore,  it 
would  be  advifcable  that  both  Ships  and  Troops  (hould  begin 
their  Operations  the  latter  End  of  April  or  beginning  of  May. 

10/^, — "  The  feven  Ships  (ent  into  the  River  St.  Laurence, 
fliould  attack  the  firft  Place  they  come  to,  belonging  to  the  French, 
in  order  to  alarm  the  Country  and  draw  their  Troops  that  Way  ; 
by  which  the  French  muft  divide  their  Forces,  fo  as  not  to  be 
able  to  alTcmble  them  together  in  one  Body  to  oppofe  our  Troops 
that  came  from  Albany. 

I  tti,—"  The  feven  Ships  built  in  Carolina  (hould  alfo  be  fent 
into  the  River  Miffiflipe  at  the  fame  Time  our  Troops  marched 
from  Albanj  ;  and  they  {hould  alfo  attack  the  firft  Place  they 
could  come  at  in  that  River,  in  order  to  caufe  the  fame  Alarm  in 
thofe  Parts.  This  would  put  the  French  in  fuch  a  Confternation 
as  not  to  know  what  Part  of  the  Country  to  defend  firft,  being  as 
it  wtre  put  between  two  Fires. 

izti, — '•  As  foon  as  Quebcck  was  taken,  1000  of  our  Regular 
Troops  and  a  good  Body  of  Indians,  fent  down  the  River  St. 
Laurence  along  with  the  faid  7  Ships,  would  foon  take  the  Illand 
of  Orleans  and  all  the  little  Forts  on  both  fides  that  River  down  to 
the  fea,  and  clear  all  thofe  Parts  of  the  French  ;  and  as  it  is  moll 
probable  that  the  French  would  draw  off  the  Troops  they  have 
now  guarding  their  Fortifications  which  they  have  thrown  up  at 
ChicaneAo  in  Nova- Scotia  to  llrengthen  their  Troops  at  Que- 
beck,  the  Troops  we  have  now  at  Nova  Scotia  might  take  thofe 
Works  as  foon  as  they  were  gone,  then  crofs  the  Bay  of  Fundy, 
or  march  round  the  Peninfula,  and  take  all  the  Forts  which  the 
French  have  lately  ere£led  on  or  about  the  River  St.  Johns,  and 
clear  all  thofe  Parts  of  the  French. 

t^th, — "The  Land  Forces  left  at  Quebeek,  after  leaving  a 
Garrifon  there,  might  go  up  along  the  River  St.  Laurence  to

The  Expence  of  General  and  Field  Officers,

axes, Shovels,  and  other  Ucenfils,  may  bring  the  aforefaid  Sum 
to  amount  to, 700,000/. 

I  he  Genilcmen,  who  have  the  Management  of  our  AfFairs, 
may  look  upon  this  to  be  a  large  fum,  altihough  1  Trifle  in  com- 
parifon  to  the  foreign  Subfidies  we  pay  on  Pretence  of  maintaining 
the  Ballance  of  Power  in  Europe,  and  nutwiihnanding  the  em- 
ploying it  as  aforcfaid  is  not  only  to  fecure  but  augment  our  Co- 
lonies, by  which  we  may  have  it  returned  in  a  1  houfand  Fold, 
which  is  veiy  difFercut  (rom  the  iaid  fubfidies,  which  iicither  re- 
turn nor  fecure  the  faid  Ballance,  nor  ever  can,  becaufe  the  Bal- 
lance of  Power  will  inevitably  fall  into  the  Hands  of  him  who 
becomes  poiTcfTed  of  the  Continent  of  North  America,  and  to 
whom  all  the  Sugar  Jflands  mud  fall  of  Couife,  becaufe  they 
can'i  fubfid   without  the  faid  Continent. 

The  Spaniih,  Portuguefe,  and  Outth  Settlemen  s,  and  in  (hort 
all  Aiiierica,  mud  foon  follow  the  fame  Fate  ;  and  the  Trade 
and  T'reafure  from  thence  will  impowcr  him  to  hold  the  faid  Bal- 
lance. and  confequently  enable  him  to  prelcribe  Laws  to  all  the 
Princes  of  liurope.  Tbrrcfore,  it  may  be  clearly  conceived,  that 
the  Baliaiice  of  Power  is  really  in  America,  and  not  in  Europe, 
as  thofe  Gentlemen  have  fo  weakly  imagined. 

If  this  Scheme  is  well  conduced,  the  above  Sum  i»  all  the  Mo- 
nty that  will  be  wanted,  becaufe  the  French  may  be  drove  out 
of  all  the  Continent  of  America  in  Six  or  Eight  Months  at  far- 
theft  :  But,  if  we  go  on  paying  Subfijiesin  the  fupine  manner  we 
now  do,  and  let  the  French  take  our  Co!onie.%  our  Subfidies  mutt 
not  only  be  augmented  Year  after  Year,  but  continued  'till  we 
have  not  a   Shilling  left. 

It  requires  no  great  Degree  of  Judgment  to  comprehend,  thit 
on  the  Security  and  Profperity  of  our  faid  Colonies  and  Iflind* 
depend*  the  chiet  Trade  of  this  Nation,  nay,  it  may  be  truly  faid 
all  the  Trade  we  get  any  Thing  by.  The  innumerable Q(ian;i;ie» 
of  Goods,  which  are  annually  exported  into  thofe  Colonics  and 
Iflinds  from  hence,  to  the  Amount  of  fome  Millions  Sterling, 
■nd  ihe  great  Number  ol  Shipping  and  Hands  employed  in  the 
Exportation  of  them,  make  up  the  moft  confiJcrable  Part  of  our 
prefent  Trading  Intereft  ;  and,  by  manulafturing  the  Materials 
for  that  particular  Commerce,  what  Numbers,  nay  Familie?,  are

fidcrable  Part  of  the  Commotiitie*,  imported  from  our  faid  Colonies 
■nd  Illinds,  are  re  exported  and  bartered  for  other  Commodities 
in  lieu  of  Money,  to  which  may  be  truly  owing  the  great  Rife  in 
the  Value  of  our  Lands. 

'Tis  the  Returns  brought  from  our  Colonies  which  enable  us 
to  fupport  our  Trade  to  the  Etft  Tndies.  The  Money  carried 
out  by  that  company,  that  paid  in  Subfidies,  and  other  Drains  too 
long  to  particular  ze,  amount  to  above  Three  Millions  Sterling 
Yearly  ;  and  the  Ballance  of  Trade,  taking  all  Parts  of  Europe 
together,  'u  very  much  againll  us,  as  may  be  clesriy  proved  both 
by  our  Merchants  and  others  of  thegreateft  Speculation. 

If  the-  People  of  our  Colonies  upon  the  Continent  of  America 
can  be  prevailed  upon  to  raife  the  whole  zo.ooo  Men,  there  will 
be  no  Occafion  to  fend  the  faid  Sixty  IntSependent  Companies  from 
hence.  This  will  reduce  the  Expence  ot  7'ranfporting  the  faid 
Troops,  and  may  better  anfwer  the  End  prop  (ed.  The  Bchavi- 
onr  ot  the  American  Troops  in  the  taking  ot  Cape  Breton  is  a  con- 
vincing Proof  that  they  m«y  be  better  fitted  for  carrying  on  a  War 
in  that  Country  than  any  Troops  lent  from  hence  ;  and  their  Com- 
manders may  be  better  Judges  of  what  Optrations  are  to  be  pro- 
ceeded upon,  and  msy  bring  their  Men  to  fuch  Difcipline,  as  is 
neccffiry  for  thit  Wildcrnefs  Country,  in  two  or  three  Month's 
Time,  becaufe  nioft  depends  upon  Bufli  fighting. 

But  our  fiid  Colony  Gentlemen  have  been  (o  hardly  ufed  and 
ill  rewarded,  both  for  their  Service  and  Bravery  in  the  taking  of 
Cape- Breton.  &c.  that  it's  rot  to  be  fuppofed  they'll  come  into 
any  future  Mealures  for  raiCng  of  Troops  without  proper  Encou- 
ragement. 

Therefore,  all  fuch  American  Gemlemen,  who  do  agree  to 
raife  Companies  or  Regiments  of  able  bodied  Men,  fhonld  have 
the  King's  Comm'ffion,  and  be  afTuted  of  Half  pay  when  their 
Service  was  over,  and  to  rank  with  our  National  Military  Officers 
according  to  Seniority  and  Date  of  Comniiflion. 

If  all  tt'C  faid  Troops  are  raifed  in  America,  and  the  aforefaid 
I  i.  Ships  built  there  and  fitted  out  by  the  Americans,  it  can't  give

Army,  to  guard  our  Frontiers,  'all  we  ire  quite  exhauflcd,  and 
then  declare  War,  when  we  are  not  in  a  Condition  to  cppofe

The  French  have  already  fo  wormed  us  out  of  all  the  Spanilh

Sterling  ;  and,  as  they  have  feen  the  Spanifh  Depredations  taken

taking  and  confifcaiing  feveral  of  our  Ships  on  Pretence  of  their 
approaching  too  sear  their  Sugar  Jflands,  when  in  reality  they 
only  pafs  and  repafs  to  and  from  our  own  Iflands  and  Colmies, 
and  fometimes  are  drove  upon  their  Coaft  by  meer  Strtfs  of  Wea-
